It's good that the Angels play in the L.A. area, because the only people who will be able to afford to go to a game (let alone buy their kid a frickin' hot dog) after the ticket prices skyrocket are all the Hollywood idiots who have been in the news lately.

Imagine what Roger Maris would get if he were coming off his 61 HR season.

No, Trout doesn't seem like a diva to me. Back in the day, KGJ was said to be all smiles and what was good about baseball but when he was with the Reds and they wanted him to move to Right Field because he sucked as a Center Fielder, he at first refused and when he finally did move he had an attitude about it. Acted like a total diva.

$$$
The Angels TV contract is $3 billion over 20 years. If I were them I wouldn't think twice about $430M for Trout.

We are happy with Betts!
Red Sox fans are very happy with Mookie Betts.
No doubt Mike Trout is a fine ballplayer, but most Red Sox fans would not trade Mookie Betts for any other MLB player. Period. End of story. Patrick

I'm just happy Trout resigned with the Angels. Now I don't have to listen to the East Coast media obsess for two years about how he is going to sign with the Phillies or the Yankees.

Glad to see Trout signed before becoming a FA, glad that he signed with the Angels, and glad that his contract smashed Harper's and Machado's numbers.
Enjoy watching him play the game.

The Pirates probably would have said the same thing about McCutchen in 2013. Five years later he was traded for Kyle Crick and bonus money.

Saw today that Betts will undoubtedly become a free agent. Still think the red Sox would have no interest in trading him next year?

I don't think any human being should be paid this obscene amount of money, I don't care what they do for a living. HOWEVER, if you go by the formula that only the best, #1 player should be awarded this type of contract...then the Angels are right on. Trout is the greatest player in the game today, and probably of this generation.
